you probably guessed it from the header, and I
don’t want to take up a ton of dashboard space explaining the situation in
detail - I’m trying to get money together to safely leave my abusive
household, and survive it while I’m here. Any help you can give (even if it’s just to reblog this post) will
mean everything to me.
If you want to read the details of my
situation and know how I’ll be using any money donated, just look below:
and really,
at this point, I’m kind of at the end of my rope… the end of the line. I’m
managing, mentally/financially, even after having money taken by family, having to purchase a washing machine and fridge for the house, pay bills, etc, but it’s mostly getting harder and harder to
hide how badly I’m doing so please - anything at all will help!
You can donate directly to the fundraiser here (it goes straight into my Paypal), or to my Paypal, instead (here)!
All I want is to feel safe, stable, to not be so stressed i can’t sleep or eat or think properly. Any help you give will make my life easier to live and I’ll be eternally grateful!
You sure? I thought that’s what the “B” stood for.

Perfect. 10/10.
In case anyone was wondering why GLAAD had to come out with a bi-specific guide for the media.
In case anyone was wondering what the part in their style guide about not calling bi people “allies” was all about.
In case anybody still thinks “bi people are only affected by homophobia,” here’s just one tiny drop in the bucket of “shit that actually happens specifically to bisexuals and is not a part of homophobia.”
We’re actively pushed back in the closet, constantly, even after we publicly come out TO the media, which also tends to treat bi people coming out as a quirky lie. And this happens equally in the “LGBT” and straight media. I think that’s super weird, tbh.
Reminder to youngins on the Internet, specifically Tumblr, you are not required to list all your mental illnesses and personal information in a bulleted list, you don’t owe anybody shit.
When I was a kid, we lvied in Colorado for a few years. One of the lasting friendships my mum formed in her life was with our neighbours, Nancy and Tim. They had kids who were roughly the same age as me and my brother. Sadly, a few years after we moved back to New Zealand, they lost their son, aged 12. In the last 20 years, they have had several ups and downs, but they are still married, still living in the same home.
A couple of years ago, Nancy had an illness that drained their finances. They filed for bankruptcy, but have managed so far to keep their home. Now Tim has been diagnosed, and they need some help to pay for his treatments, and hopefully get through this too. Their home is still filled with memories of their son, not to mention their grown daughter and her family. So, if anyone can add to the pot or just boost the signal for them, I’d appreciate it.
